The White House has released President Barack Obama's birth certificate clarify that he was indeed born in Hawaii, hopefully silencing the critics that believe he was born elsewhere in the world. The White House released it after people started to pose doubts that Barack Obama was an American-born citizen.
Okay, really? Really people?? It is just sad to see that this is the kind of people we have living in our country. You would think that the United States of America, having one of the most sophisticated government systems in the world, would have check if every presidential candidate was born in the US. This is not a very difficult thing to find out, and Obama being the well educated lawyer that he is, would probably not have run for president if he wasn't a citizen.
I expected after the 2008 election that the United States of America was in a new era. Where all of the discrimination and racism was behind us after electing the first African-American president. However questioning the birthplace of the president of the United States just because he is black is taking ten steps backwards. I guess some people will never learn or and will never change.
